While enjoying the comforts of their
new home, last Friday evening, Mr.
and Mrs. Parsons were surprised by
some fifty or sixty friends and ola
neighbors OF 1.-THE 18th ward," who
came with the avowed purpose OF
having a good time, and giving their
friends house warming" Though
taken entirely unawares, Mr.. and Mrs,
Parsons enjoyed the visit as fully as
if they had known all about it, and to
say that their visitors accomplished
their purposes, is stating it very mild
ly. With many kind wishes for the
long enjoyment of their pleasant new
home, the guests took their departure.

Caught oa a Rabbit Diet.

This is what the Oregon people
are finding out. They have been
shipping jack ra tbits into Chicago
by the car load; and by singular
coincidence the inward shipments
of canned chicken suddenly in
creased, and now it has found that
a process has been discovered
whereby rabbit meat is made to
taste like chicken meat, and the
OregoDites are given a taste of their
own pudding. This puts Chicago a
long way ahead of st. Louis. The
st. Louis papers have been laugh
log at Chicago because the Cook
County girls have such large ears
that the fowls of the air can roost
therein; but St. Louis won't laugh
any more on learning how slick she
is beaten in commercial shrewd-
ness. This knocks out wooden
nutmegs and hams in big shape.

Another Blow at Nevada.

The President did not sign the
bull, providing for the annexation
of the northern part of Idaho to
Washington Territory, and that
measure consequently failed to be-
come a law. Senator Stewart called
on him and said it was the wish of
nearly all of the people of that part
of the Territory that annexation
should be made. The President
replied that the Governor of the
Territory, whom be had appointed,
had written to him. that it would
be bad measure to sign, and that
on that ground he would withhold
his signature.
The failure of this bill to become
law will materially interfere with
the annexation of the Southern
part of Idaho to this State. Cleve-
land seems to look upon Nevada as
special object of his resentment.

A sand Club

1t is not often that sand club
finds its way into quiet town like
Carson, but recently a young man
named Lewis picked up one back
of the Steam Laundry. 1t weighed
about three pounds. and was made
of canvas filed with sand, with a
loop for handle. This is the most
noiseless and deadly weapon
known, and will break bone or
fracture the skull and leave no
mark. A person hit in the head
with it will go crazy in few weeks,
as the brain rots when the blow
falls. The club is now on exhibit

The favorite telephone line of n

Appeal, has been in bad working
order since the last rains, and few
days since j. Cushln and assist
ants were sent down the line. They
got as far as Bear River, where it
was found that over half mile of

the bed of the stream. Knowing
that the use of the line was desired
at once, and having no time to
come IT, MarysvIlle to secure wire,
he thought 10 try a novel means.
He dragged the ends of barbed
wire fence near the railroad track
and attached t,,m to it. Upon re-
turning to Marysyille in the after
noon he asked the employees at the
bank if 1t was working and they
said it was doing fine. When he
informed them that their message
Was passing over a half mile Of
barbed wire, it caused a look of
wonder to come over their faces.
This is the first feat of the kind
which has been recorded.

Prospect of Securing Payment
for Indian Depredations.

for Indian Depredations.
In the State of Nevada their has
been existing for many years, and
still exists, valid claims against the
General Government, for Indian
depredations, committed in the col
ony history of the State. These
claims amount to some 100000 and
the claimants have over and over
again attempted to collect it but
have grown weary of the work on
account of the red tape involved.
They are always assured by the
Government Agent that these
claims are considered perfectly
good but they must not be in
a hurry. Messrs. Stoddard and
Young have set about getting these
claims Systematically, and will go
to Washington and push the matter
before Congress with the assistance
OF our representatives there.
The following is the action taken
by the Legislature on the subject:
Whereas: By an Act of the
Legislature of the State of Nevada,
approved February Goth, 1866. A
Board of Commissioners was ere
ated to ascertain the amount of
loss and damages sustained by the
inhabitants of Hum beldt County
In said State by the depredations
of hostile Indians during the years
eighteen hundred and sixty-four,
five and six. and
Whereas:-By an Act of the Leg
islature approved March 18th, 1866
A Commission was appointed to as
certain the amount of loss and
damages sustained by Indian dep.
re ations to citizens of Lander

islature approved January 3Oth,
1869. A Commission was appoint
ed 10 ascertain the amount of loss
and damages sustained from Indiau

and seveL ty-eight raided the coun-
ties of Humboldt and Elko in the
State of Nevada, numbering white
people, burning and destroying
property, stealing and driving off
stock and laying waste the country
through which they passed, and
Whereas-The several Commits
sions created under the Acts
above cited we're duly sworn,
attended to their duties and re-
ported to the Governor that the
claims were just and equitable,
and,
Whereas:-No Congressional action
has yet been taken towards the pay
ment of the same, neither has the
State of Nevada assumed or paid
any of the losses and DAMAGES re-
ported as justly due the persons
whose names appear in their re-
spective reports Therefore be it
Resolved by the Assembly, the
Senate concurring, That our Sena-
ators be instructed, and our Repre-
sentative be requested to use all
honorable means TO procure the
payment of these claims, together
with the expenses of the Commits
sion and such Just and proper sum
for the losses and damages sus-
tanned by the Bannock Indian raid

requested to transmit a certified
